Hi, yes the steps I took are as follows. I have the azw3 which has DRM on it.

1. Load up the file in calibre
2. "Convert" the file in calibre to remove the DRM - I converted this to MOBI
3. Use the unpack plugin on the resulting MOBI file
4. Run your script in the mobi7 folder that gets created - this folder has the "book.html" file

Then I received the error.

I have just tried to run the unpack plugin directly without first converting it and it gives an error immediately - i assume because it has DRM on it.

I have also tried to "convert" it to azw3; i.e. just try to remrove the DRM. This works, but when I run the unpack I get a mobi8 folder which doesn't have the html file, and the mobi7 folder which only has the images and no html file so I'm not sure how I can run your script.

Could you please detail how you managed to get it to work? Many thanks again
